Aftermath of the Jiuyang Divine Art of Heaven and Slaying the Dragon

"Zhang Wuji, you still need one thing from me, you have to remember that if you want to save the six major factions, come and find me at most of them." At the end of the Demon Sect Leader of Yitian Tulongji, Zhao Min left this sentence and it was over. , Many people have been waiting for the sequel to arrive, but the 20-year wait has passed, and Zhang Wuji has not arrived in Dadu.

A few years ago, Wang Jing released the news that the sequel Yin-Yang Sacred Fire Order is about to start filming, and the actors have also been announced one after another. Under certain expectations, the film has also been completed. Yang Shen Gong" and "The Sacred Fire Heroes of Heaven and Slaying the Dragon". To be broadcast during the New Year's Eve in 2022. The plot of Jiuyang Shengong is the same as that of the previous demon sect masters. From Zhang Wuji's return to Middle Earth to Zhao Min's retreat from Wudang, it is actually equivalent to restarting the demon sect master, and the holy fire Xiongfeng is from Wan'an Temple to Wudang. The end of the Butcher Conference was equivalent to three hours filled with the whole story of Yitian.

This film has already deviated a lot from the original work in the demon sect master, and in this remake, it has been greatly revised. The revisions and rants about the characters are roughly as follows

• Cheng Kun became Xie Xun's senior brother and blinded Xie Xun in order to grab the Dragon Saber. Xie Xun's friend Zhang Cuishan rescued him and fled to Icefire Island with him. From master to senior brother, from destroying Ming religion to robbing the Dragon Sabre, Zhang Cuishan and Xie Xun became good friends. Although these points are quite different from the original, they are not important details in the movie.
• Zhang Cuishan and his party who returned to Middle Earth met a mother and daughter on the boat. The mother was seriously injured. Zhang Cuishan helped her heal, and Zhang Wuji gave the little girl a pendant. In the end, this person was sent by Chuxing to investigate. Because he broke his life and gave birth to a child, Chuxing gave him the task to make atonement for his merits. After the event was completed, Chuxing promised to take care of his daughter Zhiruo and then executed him. After reading the original book, I knew that this episode used Ji Xiaofu's plot, but it completely erased the interaction between Xiao Zhiruo and Xiao Wuji. The two sides didn't even exchange names, which made the relationship between the two of them less in the future. a reason. The role of Yang Bugui was also deleted, but Yang Bugui's role in the original was not so important, and it was reasonable to take it in the movie.
• Zhang Cuishan's death on Wudang Mountain turned into him running to fight with the five major factions instead of committing suicide. This change is even more inexplicable. With the friendship of the seven heroes of Wudang, even if Zhang Cuishan said that he would solve it by himself, how could he not kill himself like this? Hearing that, in the novel, at that time, I had already planned to put on a seven-section formation of real martial arts to have sex with the five major parties, and the classic "The more beautiful a woman is, the more deceitful it is" was not there. Yin Susu changed her body into cold poison and joined Zhang Wuji. Stay in Wudang. The tragic level of this paragraph is much lower than the old version. And Zhang Sanfeng also lacked the temperament of immortal style, which should be a casting issue.
• The process of learning Jiuyang became Lao Zhang said that Jueyuan found that there was Jiuyang magic in the Lengjiao Sutra, but Jueyuan explained that all Wudang disciples could not learn this Sutra. It turns out that Jueyuan was still alive when Wudang was founded in this setting? Next, a disciple mentioned how to solve the Lengjiao Sutra in Shaolin. Zhang Sanfeng said that he had to find a way, and then he took Wuji to the "Zangjing Pavilion" in the next scene, and then deliberately showed the Lengjiao Sutra to him. Only a second to tell that the book is in Shaolin, and the next second to show the book to Wuji in Wudang? It just happens to be called the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion just like Shaolin? Here, let's take it that Zhang Sanfeng kept the transcript but didn't tell his disciples. The next incident happened when Wuji injured Wudang disciples with the Seven Wounds Fist and then escaped with the scriptures. The cold poison in his body was actually able to use his internal strength. Later, Yang Xiao and others in Guangmingding were hit with the cold poison of Xuanming Divine Palm, but they were temporarily unable to do so. For those who use internal force, Xiao Wuji can also play Seven Severe Fist, which is a natural divine power. After escaping, Wuji returned to Icefire Island with the scriptures and asked Xie Xun to teach him martial arts to remove the cold poison, and then returned to Middle Earth after practicing for fifteen years. That is to say, Wuji was already around 30 when he started to roam the arena. I wonder if this setting is to match the age of the actors? Then again, Ice and Fire Island was originally set so that the ocean currents were complicated and extremely difficult to find, so Xiao Wuji just found a boat by himself and could touch it back?
• The next development is to meet Xiao Zhao (Is it too obvious that Xiao Zhao gave Persian music as soon as he appeared? Although he is indeed a Persian, but he should not know about it at this moment), encounter Emei, The details are not the same as the old version, but the main development is roughly the same, but the familiar demon nun is gone. What makes people feel inexplicable is that the special effect of the dragon claw hand is that the arms will be cloned, and you can see two people with six arms fight each other. Huashan Er Lao is still a living treasure who only has one mouth. There is a puzzling scene in which Xiao Zhao sees a spider behind Zhang Wuji, and helps him take it down and eat it. There is no antecedent, and There is no account of any impact, the only thing I can think of is probably an easter egg, right? In the original book, after Zhang Wuji learned Jiuyang Divine Art, he met Shu'er, and then met Emei together with Shu'er, so those who have read the original book should have thought that it might be related to Shu'er, but that's all. Another strange point is that Zhang Wuji actually called Yu Lianzhou "Second Master Uncle". In the original work, it was called "Six Master Uncle". The person who wrote the lines didn't know how to call his seniority, so he changed it directly. Master!
• The process of the later version of Lvliu Zhuang is roughly similar to the old version, and it also restores the plot of Xiao Zhao taking the three palms of extinction. In the final battle of Wudang Mountain, in the battle of Tai Chi Sword, Zhang Wuji opened the box that he had been carrying behind him, and actually took out the Dragon Saber and used Tai Chi Sword to fight against the opponent's Yitian Sword. After cutting off the opponent's arm, a masked The master rescued Zhao Min, just like the end of the old version, Zhao Min also stayed to find him in Dadu, and the Jiuyang Magical Art was completed.
  So Zhang Wuji was not afraid of accidents when he walked around the world with the Dragon Saber on his back. Wouldn't he be embarrassed to call Xiao Zhao carrying such a heavy sword after he became the leader? Xiao Zhao is a maid, not a sword boy. And then the Yitianjian and Dragon Saber swipe like a qigong wave. This Taiji sword is not bad if you don't teach it. The original work is because you have to use a wooden sword to face the Yitianjian, so the Taiji sword's characteristic of using softness to overcome rigidity is used.

The main plot of the last episode is actually similar to the leader of the demon sect. First, it is mainly to help everyone review the plot, and second, to let everyone see the new actors, but the main actors feel really not up to the mark, Zhang Cuishan is not gentle enough, Zhao Min is not heroic enough, and Zhou Zhiruo's emotions are too dull. On the contrary, Xiao Zhao's lively and lovely personality is restoring the version of the year. If you haven't watched the original or the previous version, many plots may feel a bit fast and unclear.

Sacred Fire Xiongfeng started at Wan'an Temple as soon as the opening scene. Compared with Jiuyang Shengong, this one is more compact. In total, it is packed with Wan'an Temple to save people, the three envoys of war in Persia, the wedding of Wuji and Zhiruo, and the butcher's meeting. The previous plot It can be said that the progress is very fast. In the first hour, the exploration of Wan'an Temple was stuffed. Fan Yao showed up and cheated on the antidote. The universe moved to save the six major factions. Become the dragon king in purple shirt and lead the three envoys from Persia to Binghuo Island to capture Xie Xun), Xiao Zhao took over as the head of the Holy Maiden, Zhou Zhiruo stole the sword and other plots, so you can see that Fan Yao suddenly recognized each other, and put Han Ji on the deer stick without any explanation. On the guest bed, Fan Yao and He Biweng suddenly had a drink together without any explanation. Of course, those who have seen the original work should be very clear about the process of this strategy, but I am afraid that Han Ji's name was inexplicably named from Wang Baobao's mouth just by watching the movie. Nobody knows who he is, right? Zhao Min met Zhang Wuji twice in the tavern and it was also filmed. I feel that although the director has changed a lot, he really wants to restore some of the original works, such as Wan'an Temple, which has many scenes and dialogues from the original works.

As for the inexplicable special effects of martial arts, the first episode is the six-armed dragon claw hand, and the second episode is the sacred fire order electric fan martial arts. Master Zhang, who moved Dacheng with Qiankun, also quickly realized their martial arts. One person is divided into three parts and the blades of the electric fan rotate. Do the special effects and martial arts instructors of this film like avatars and rotations?

The blackened part of Zhou Zhiruo added a plot where she designed Song Qingshu to kill Ding Minjun, and then she killed Song Qingshu. In fact, this part is a bit abrupt, because Song Qingshu did not express his intention to Zhou Zhiruo in Jiuyang Shengong (the leader of the demon sect). Yes), but Zhou Zhiruo killed Ding Minjun but felt it was reasonable, and Cheng Kun instigated Zhou Zhiruo to hold the Butcher Conference, the intention was to take advantage of the chaos to obtain the Dragon Slayer Sword and Yitian Sword. Cheng Kun has learned the Vajra Indestructible Magic, the first of the seventy-two Shaolin stunts, so Zhang Wuji's Jiuyang Magic and Zhou Zhiruo's Jiuyin White Bone Claw can't hurt him at all. The little accomplished King Kong's indestructible magic can take down Zhang Wuji's attack. This is the most common plot in Hong Kong manga, but it seems reasonable to think that Wang Jing is from Hong Kong. In the end, relying on the Purple Shirt Dragon King The Holy Fire Order and the Holy Fire Order martial arts finally penetrated Cheng Kun's defense and abolished his skill. At the end, Zhou Zhiruo died. Before his death, he gave Zhao Min the token that Zhang Wuji gave him when he was a child, and blessed the two of them. In the end, the two left behind their swords.

As far as the plot is concerned, it is actually ordinary and a little loose, but people who have read the original book should be able to easily make up for the things that are not clear on their own. The plot, I feel that I have tried my best to put everything that needs to be explained. On the whole, it is a very ordinary martial arts movie with the name of Jin Yong, not very good but not too bad. And those who have seen the sect leader can take a look at it as a shortcoming. Although many people say that this female character has plastic face, but at least this one has the advantage that the female characters are all beautiful, but they have no characteristics and do not match the character's characteristics. I am afraid that this evaluation is difficult to surpass other versions. actor.

As far as the plot level is concerned, these two films are just ordinary New Year's films. It's okay to watch them easily during the Chinese New Year. If you are not interested in martial arts or Jin Yong and have not seen the sect leader, I don't recommend these two films, unless you I want to pass a lot of time. Maybe reading it will make you interested in Jin Yong's novels. When I was a child, I was interested in Jin Yong's novels after reading Zhou Xingchi's Lu Ding Ji, so the first book I read was Lu Ding Ji. After that, I was interested in Yitian and Dragon Slayer because I watched the Demon Lord. These two films made me deeply realize that movies and novels are completely different things.

PS. This feels that some small easter eggs may be discovered by people who have seen other works

• The episode used Zhou Huajian's sword like a dream (the theme song of the TV version of Yitian and Dragon Slayer)
• Huashan Er Lao has an actor who was the Huashan Er Lao in the original demon sect leader
• The color system of Xiao Zhao's clothing should be a tribute to the red in the sect leader. In fact, it can be seen that Xiao Zhao's personality still has the setting of the sect leader's version.
• The above mentioned Xiao Zhao eating spiders should be connecting with the original spiders
• The weapon in Yang Xiao's hand is a flute or Xiao's musical instrument, and the statement that Yang Xiao is the descendant of Huang Yaoshi is also a speculation by some fans, Huang Laoxie himself has the image of Xiao (this is just a personal experience. Thought, I think Wang Jing should not have thought of this)
